Iowa’s Buzzer-Beater Ends Florida’s Title Dream
In a wild NCAA Tournament game, the Iowa Hawkeyes pulled off a huge upset by beating the defending champion Florida Gators 73-72, all thanks to a last-second three-pointer.
How the Game-Winning Play Happened
Down to the Wire
With Iowa trailing by two points and barely any time left, guard Bennett Stirtz inbounded the ball. He dribbled up the court and passed to Alvaro Folgueiras in the corner. Folgueiras took one step back behind the three-point line and buried the shot with just over four seconds remaining.
An Emotional Moment
After hitting the shot, Folgueiras pointed to the sky to honor his late father. He then celebrated with his mom in the stands, hugging her tightly. “It’s really special,” Folgueiras said. “This is for the dreamers.”
